I gave my dog to Uncle Sam in 1943
G7 C
He sailed across the sea and died for liberty
F D7
Now that you are sending hero's home I just can't understand
G7 C
Why don't you send my dog home Uncle Sam
G7 C
It's true no more he'll lead me as he did in days of yore
D7 G7
He'll never be a blind boy's pal no more
C F D7
But I know that he gets lonesome sleeping in some distant land
G7 C
Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam
F D7
I gave my dog to Uncle Sam he was so strong and smart
G7 C
We knew right from the start that we should do our part
F D7
They wrote he died a hero t'was in the telegram
G7 C
Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam
G7 C
He'll sleep beneath Old Glory right here on daddy's farm
D7 G7
I'll be close by to keep him from all harm
C F D7
No one knows how much I miss him and how lonesome now am I
G7 C
Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam
